"No problem, I'll go on the mission with you."
Having received the promise, Baoyue happily rubbed her little hands together.
"Great! With Brother Zhongli here, I'm sure I can catch that supernatural creature."
"By the way, Brother Zhongli, you shouldn't be catching ghosts anymore, right?"
Thinking of Zhongli's last time capturing the boy who had committed suicide, Baoyue looked over cautiously at night.
"Don't worry, I don't need the supernatural right now."
Zhongli chuckled and comforted Baoyue Yexiao.
He then pulled up the still shy Takatsuki Eiko and set off for a late-night snack with her.
……
As dusk fell, the abandoned water gate in the port area was visible.
Zhongli followed Baoyue and her sister to the location of the haunted place.
At a glance, the riverbed is deserted and empty.
The river's outlet to the sea also features a dilapidated water gate, several meters high.
It used to be a control gate used to regulate the water level in the city.
After taking a look, Zhongli noticed nothing supernatural except for the wandering spirit.
"A little midnight snack, a poem for you."
When will the supernatural elements in the mission appear?
Baoyue Yongzi checked the time on her phone.
"It should be soon; it's already the time of the Demon King."
The supernatural should be coming out soon.
Bao Yue, standing to the side, took out a black bear plush toy from her empty bag, hugged it to her chest, and said to Zhong Li.
"Brother Zhongli, when we make our move later, could you help me restrain the supernatural entity?"
I want to take him back.
Bao Yue Ye Xiao's understanding of Zhong Li's combat strength was still based on the time he killed the boy.
So he only let Zhongli help him restrain her, while she personally took charge of the capture.
"Haha, a hindrance? No problem."
Speaking of this, Zhongli remembered the invitation he had given Baoyue for a late-night snack last time, and spoke up again.
"Oh, right, a late-night snack."
Last time I asked you if you were willing to follow me, how's your thinking going?
As long as you agree to follow me.
I have the ability to help you solve the problem of false gods.
You don't need to rush to collect rare evil spirits anymore.
Zhongli's words are true.
Now it possesses four great supernatural powers, as well as the God-Slaying Spear Technique, which is even stronger than the supernatural powers.
Even though he couldn't fully utilize his God-Slaying Spear Technique, he unleashed a burst of power a thousand times stronger than his injured body.
His combat strength is solid, reaching the general level, and his rank within that level will not be low.
It's still possible to destroy a small area of the city.
Furthermore, even if he can't defeat the false god.
His mentor, Scáthach, was no pushover either.
Hearing that Zhongli had the power to defeat the false god.
Holding the little black bear, waiting for the eerie moonlit night snack, I suddenly looked up.
A pair of purple skull eyes stared at Zhong Li in surprise, her small mouth slightly agape in astonishment.
"Brother Zhongli, are you serious?"
That's a pseudo-god with general-level combat power.
"Can you really handle this all by yourself?"
Zhongli nodded affirmatively at Baoyue's surprised and doubtful expression.
"Yes, I alone am enough to kill the false god."
Upon confirmation, Bao Yue was utterly shocked, and the doll in her hand trembled uncontrollably from the pressure.
It should be noted that a general-level officer already possesses the initial strength to threaten a city.
If they are high-ranking generals, they even have the ability to destroy cities.
Bao Yue's original idea was simply to weaken the seal by taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness.
They never intended to actually eliminate the false god.
Therefore, I don't really believe in Baoyue's late-night snacks.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Zhong Li changed from shock to bewilderment.
"Brother Zhongli, you're still a mid-level spiritualist, right?"
I had a lot of trouble dealing with the self-inflicted child before.
Don't try to fool me just because I'm a primary school student.
Baoyue Yongzi, standing to the side, also spoke up with concern.
“Zhongli Jun, you can’t joke about false gods.”
That's extremely dangerous; don't even think about dealing with it alone.
Let's wait until we're fully prepared.
Seeing that neither Baoyue nor her sister believed it, Zhongli could understand.
After all, he was only an intermediate-level spirit mage, yet he claimed to be able to deal with a pseudo-god with general-level combat power.
It's like an ant saying it can eat an elephant—it's unbelievable.
"Don't believe it?
I'll personally help you guys catch the supernatural creatures later.
Let me show you what true crushing dominance looks like.
Upon hearing this, Bao Yue's eyes lit up.
That's great, then she won't have to lift a finger.
Overjoyed, she immediately raised the black bear doll in her hand and cheered.
"Hey, Zhongli, keep it up!"
If you help me catch this supernatural creature, I'll go with Brother Zhongli.
Oh, and Yongzi too.
Bao Yue did not resist following Zhong Li.
After the incident involving the self-harming child, she no longer felt averse to it.
Moreover, she later learned about Zhong Li's information from Chen Miaomiao and the others.
I know that it only took Zhongli a few days from awakening to becoming an intermediate-level spiritualist.
Furthermore, there are methods to teach people to accelerate their cultivation.
They were even less resistant.
Therefore, even if Zhongli doesn't say it, she will bring it up after capturing the supernatural being.
Whether Zhongli truly possesses combat strength comparable to a general is not important.
Baoyue Yongzi, who was standing to the side, blushed when she heard her cousin mention her.
As the three chatted, the sun had already set halfway down, entering the hour of the Demon King.
A figure gradually emerged beside the grassy bank of the river.
It is a little boy holding a picture book.
[Ding, a paranormal quest has been triggered: Eliminate the intermediate-level paranormal Black Asura.]
Upon hearing the system notification, Zhong Li, who was chatting, immediately became alert and looked around.
Then I saw a little boy drawing by the river.
At this moment, Baoyue and her sister also noticed something was wrong and looked over.
Bao Yue immediately clutched the doll in her arms and quickly introduced it.
“Brother Zhongli, he is the supernatural Black Asura this time.”
They would draw a rough portrait and then erase it, thus using it to curse and kill someone from afar.
This is an even more dangerous supernatural phenomenon than the self-inflicted child spirit; we must subdue it quickly.
Clearly, having learned from the previous experience of the boy who committed suicide, Baoyue Night Snack has a deeper understanding of the paranormal.
"Zhongli-jun, do you really not need me and Yexiao to join forces?"
Baoyue Yongzi still harbors concerns about Zhongli.
"No need, I'll be right back."
As he spoke, Zhongli took a step forward and instantly rushed out, raising his hand and bending his arm to form a spear with his palm as the tip.
In less than a second, he traversed a hundred meters and arrived in front of Black Asura.
Black Asura didn't even have time to sketch a rough portrait in his sketchbook before he was approached.
Seeing that there was no time to curse, dozens of spiritual hands instantly stretched out from behind Black Asura and reached out to grab Zhong Li, trying to block his approach.
Zhongli ignored the attack.
Using his hand as a gun, he pierced straight through, unleashing ten times the power of his entire body.
In an instant, it pierced through all the hands of spiritual power.
Zhongli's arm pierced directly through the Black Asura painting and chest without any obstruction, extremely easily.
"woo"
The Black Asura, struck hard, let out a mournful cry as its supernatural body began to dissipate.
[Ding, the supernatural quest "Black Asura" is complete.]
[Reward: 4 Spiritual Sources.]
Watching the black Asura gradually dissipate, Zhongli whispered...
"Dual-domain cohesion"
The surrounding天地之力 (heaven and earth power) was infected and transformed into the power of dual perfection.
They forcibly reassembled and brought back to life the dissipated body of Black Asura.
However, it has already been completely controlled by Zhongli.
The entire process took no more than three seconds to subdue Black Asura.
This is Zhongli, now facing the dominance of a mid-level supernatural being.
Holding Black Asura by the neck, Zhongli walked back to the Baoyue sisters.
"The supernatural stuff you wanted for your midnight snack."
The Baoyue sisters, who were stunned by the news, immediately came to their senses upon hearing Zhongli's words.
Bao Yue immediately took out a figurine and stuck it on Black Asura's body.
